WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama celebrated his 51st birthday on Saturday with a round of golf, then helicoptered to the Camp David presidential retreat for a quiet evening off the campaign trail.

Obama, an avid golfer, played with colleagues and friends at the Andrews Air Force Base in hot, muggy weather conditions before taking Marine One to Maryland's Catoctin Mountains in the afternoon.

The White House did not release details of the president's evening plans or share the menu for the birthday meal he was expected to share with wife, Michelle.

Every article from the day that pic was supposed to have been taken (his birthday) mentions that he played golf and was having a quiet weekend. And that's all.

I guess it's possible that he went and shot a gun that day, between golf, flying, a quiet evening and time with the kids but it's strange there's no mention of it anywhere.

I know SR. I know... but there is just something so OFF about that pic...and it bugs the hell outta me.

Ya know

There are a number of off things about it. There is absolutely no movement in the photo, I.e., no blur, no motion on the barrel, which is perfectly aligned with the discharge. That tells me that it's a still of Obama holding the gun in front of a backdrop with the smoke added after. Note that the smoke is against the darkest parts of the photo, and the barrel has an odd ring on the end. This indicates that the smoke was added after the fact. Now, I could be wrong about that, but I doubt it.
